Hear a participant’s perspective on the insights and opportunities gained through their experience.

“We have never sat in a room with this much representation. We are all looking around the table and realizing that we all came from such different parts of the world and energy sectors. It was quite delightful and made the discussion so insightful. Everybody pitched their own ideas and thoughts on the topics that were discussed throughout the day. It was very enriching with many different perspectives.”
